Pros and cons

Pros

  • A smaller deposit. You can borrow with 3% down, so you may buy sooner. Under 20%, lenders mortgage insurance usually applies.
  • Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
  • Redraw. You can take back extra repayments later if you need the money.
  • No early repayment fee listed. You can pay the loan off early, or refinance, without a penalty. Check the terms to be sure.

Cons

  • No offset account. Your savings can't reduce the interest unless you pay them into the loan.
